on the other hand, i DID like bush’s speech about the Challenger tragedy.

I know what I would do. If I had the responsibility to secure our boarders and our national interest and was faced with the dilemma of possibly violating the 4th amendment when the violation is in a legal gray area - I would act to save lives, while the details got worked out. I think that is what Bush did, and I think the American public knows that. To date, we still have no person who has come forward and proved he or sha has been harmed by the "illegal" wire-taps.
Also, DC seeming to suggest that Bush and Republican have no concern over the 4th amendment, is a bit over the top, in my opinion.
